What Akhbar is
A reader for the news in English and Arabic. Each story keeps its outlet’s own headline and summary, and beside it you can ask an AI persona to explain, translate or argue it through, always from what the outlet reported.
Where the news comes from
We show headlines and short summaries published in the outlets' own public feeds, credit each outlet on every story and link to the original. We do not store or republish full articles. AI questions are only switched on for an outlet once we have checked its terms.
The AI behind the answers
Answers come from open models we run ourselves and, where configured, from carefully limited hosted models. Questions and answers are kept for 90 days to improve the service and then deleted; we never store your IP address in readable form.
Independence
Akhbar is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of the outlets it links to. All news content remains the property of its publishers.
